Socialization

"In the 1990 NORC General Survey, a random sample of American adults were asked the following series of
questions: "Many adults play roles in the lives of children. Please rate the following as very good (coded 1), good (2),
fairly good (3), fairly bad (4), and very bad (5): mothers, fathers, grandparents, teachers, and priests, ministers or
rabbis." Below are the mean scores white and black females and males gave (note: the lower the mean the more
highly rated the individual's role."
